The public is invited to participate in the 20th annual German-American “Story Slam” event at 7 p.m. on Oct. 11 at the Wood County Museum.
Geoff Howes, Bowling Green State University professor emeritus, German, will present a brief introductory program on the topic of Bowling Green’s 1889 German language newspaper, “Die Post” followed by a “Story Slam.” The “Story Slam” format will allow guests five minutes to share their stories about any topic related to their German-American heritage, genealogy, or German experiences.
The discussion will be led by Howes and Michael McMaster, education coordinator, Wood County Museum.
A $5 donation is suggested for admission to the event, which funds this event and the museum.
